Brahma-shrimaya (ब्रह्मश्रीमय, IAST: Brahmaśrīmaya) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Pervaded by both Brahmic glory and divine Śrī”. Joining brahma (the Absolute, or the Vedic sacred power), śrī (divine grace, beauty, auspicious prosperity), and maya (made of, pervaded by), this name portrays Vishnu as the living confluence of supreme knowledge and supreme beauty.
Meaning, etymology & significance
In Vaiṣṇava theology, Vishnu is eternally inseparable from Śrī (Lakṣmī), and the prefix brahma elevates their union to a cosmic-metaphysical level: He is not merely accompanied by divine grace but is constituted of it alongside the absolute Vedic power. Brahmaśrīmaya thus encapsulates the Śrīvaiṣṇava understanding of the Lord as nitya-śrī-yukta, ever united with Śrī. This name is a theological gem, affirming that wisdom and beauty, power and grace, are undivided in the Divine.
This epithet is especially cherished in the Śrīvaiṣṇava paramparā, where Vishnu is perpetually celebrated in union with Śrī Mahālakṣmī. Pronounced brah-ma-shree-ma-ya, it carries an elegant resonance suitable for a devotional given name.
Scriptural source
Brahma-shrimaya appears in the Vishnu Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Vishnu.
